Chapter 133 The Arrogant Old Grandma
Zhang Chunxue knew the Song family would come, after all, the Song Dynasty had given prior notice...
But she didn't expect that the entire Song family would come!
I originally thought it would just be my parents coming to the Song Dynasty, but who knew they would bring twenty people!
Even the two-year-old grandson of the Great Song Dynasty came!
Zhang Chunxue was only taken aback for a moment before warmly and generously greeting everyone: "You've all come from afar, thank you for your hard work! Please find a place to sit down! I'll go make you some tea!"
Zhong Aiguo also realized what was happening and quickly slapped his thigh: "Oh dear! Chunxue, you can take care of the guests. I'll let your sister-in-law Lifang do the work!"
The villagers nearby also seemed to wake up from a dream, and quickly moved stools, brought melon seeds and peanuts, and poured water, keeping themselves extremely busy.
Da Song then patted Song Xingyun's hand, signaling him to let go of him.
Song Xingyun chuckled and released his younger brother.
Da Song straightened his clothes and quickly walked to Zhang Chunxue's side: "Grandpa and Grandma, what brings you here too?"
He was a little embarrassed: "I originally thought that time was tight, and Grandpa and Grandma are getting old, and you've traveled a long way..."
Song Ci's eyes widened: "So you're not going to tell us?"
Song Xingzhi rubbed his nose: "It's not that... it's just that I felt it was too much trouble for you to make this trip..."
"And it's also very difficult for my uncle and aunt to get leave..."
Uncle Song Yadong clicked his tongue and said, "What are you saying! How could we not come to your wedding!"
His two cousins were also all smiles.
"Yes, after all, she's the biggest troublemaker in our family..."
Aunt Lan Chunxiao also walked to Zhang Chunxue's side, her curious gaze unable to leave Zhang Chunxue.
"Oh my! Chunxue and Xingzhi are such a perfect match..."
Zheng Wenbi held Zhang Chunxue's hand and said, "You've told us everything about your life and whereabouts. You've really worked hard all these years!"
As she spoke, she took out a thick red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into Zhang Chunxue's arms: "This is a gift from your family to you when we first meet. I hope you won't find it offensive."
Zhang Chunxue was stunned and before she could react, her aunt Lan Chunxiao took out a slightly thinner red envelope and stuffed it into Zhang Chunxue's hand.
"Chunxue, this is a token of my uncle and aunt's affection, please don't find it offensive."
Zhang Chunxue was at a loss: "This...this...Auntie, Aunt, I can't accept this..."
The sheer thickness of this red envelope is astonishing.
This is something you can't accept without doing something right... The most important thing is that in their rural areas, it's rare to give a gift for a first meeting, let alone such a generous red envelope.
"Hmph!" Yao Qingling snorted heavily. "You don't even want the red envelope? Are you looking down on Xingzhi or on the Song family?"
Zhang Chunxue glanced at her with some surprise.
By this time, a large number of villagers had gathered around, and everyone was whispering among themselves.
The arrival of the Song family was truly big news, especially since they came with their entire families, from the oldest to the youngest.
At first, some people wanted to see Zhang Chunxue make a fool of herself, thinking that Da Song didn't dare to tell his family about marrying her, and that he would be slapped in the face.
Not only did they come, but their whole family came.
Some people speculated that Da Song might have tricked his family into coming here, and that when they finally saw Zhang Chunxue, they might find her too old...
Unexpectedly, Song Xingzhi's mother and aunt took out a gift without any discussion!
Judging by the weight and thickness of those two red envelopes, there must be a lot of money inside!
Just when everyone was feeling incredibly envious, the oldest woman finally stepped forward!
Judging from her attitude, she's clearly somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Chunxue!
That's true, elderly people at this age love their grandsons the most, how could they tolerate their grandson marrying a daughter-in-law like that! Immediately, people started discussing it.
"Heh, I really thought the Song family members were all flawed, but it turns out there are still some reasonable people among them."
Someone nearby overheard her sarcastic words and stood silently, keeping a distance from him.
Just then, Yao Qingling pulled a red envelope from her bosom and slapped it into Zhang Chunxue's hand with a smug tone: "This is for you, take it!"
Don't make me really think you look down on us!
Zhang Chunxue opened her mouth, but was speechless.
Lan Chunxiao chimed in loudly, "Hey, in our family, we give our daughters-in-law red envelopes of 999 each, and our nephews' wives 888 each... Your grandmother gives her granddaughters-in-law and great-granddaughters-in-law 666 each, just for good luck."
A series of gasps immediately filled the air around them.
Putting everything else aside, 666 is almost two years' salary for an average worker, not to mention the 888 and 999 salaries above that. The person who had been criticizing Zhang Chunxue earlier turned green with envy.
Grandma, could you please stop being so arrogant? It's really embarrassing for me!
Upon hearing Lan Chunxiao's words, Zhang Chunxue felt even more that the red envelope was a bit too hot to handle.
To be honest, she's lived two lives, and she's seen all kinds of money.
Moreover, she had even witnessed exorbitant bride prices in her later life.
But knowing about something and accepting it are two completely different things.
"I... this is too much..." She opened her mouth, her voice full of difficulty.
Song Xingzhi walked over at just the right moment.
"Sister Chunxue, please accept this! It's a token of my family's affection."
He winked at Zhang Chunxue: "Otherwise, if my grandma really gets angry later, she'll think you really look down on them!"
Having said all that, what could Zhang Chunxue say? She had no choice but to accept it.
Zhong Xiaoxiao led Song Yanshen from the village, carrying Zhong Yuanyuan on her back.
As soon as she arrived, she started shouting, "Mom, I asked the tofu shop, and they said delivering twenty catties of tofu tomorrow is no problem! They'll deliver it promptly at nine o'clock!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that there were many people she didn't recognize in the square of the brigade headquarters.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to her because of her arrival.
The sheer scale of the event made Zhong Xiaoxiao flinch slightly.
She couldn't help but move closer to Zhang Chunxue: "Mom..."
Zhang Chunxue put Zhong Yuanyuan off her back and patted Song Yanshen's head: "Xiaoxiao, these are all your teacher Song's relatives."
She also introduced her to them generously: "This is the only daughter I wanted after the family split up. She is Zhong Xiaoxiao, seventeen years old this year, and she will be going to high school in the county soon."
“This is my granddaughter, Zhong Yuanyuan.”
"However, I have already made the decision to have my second son divorce my second daughter-in-law and to have my second daughter-in-law become my goddaughter."
